MACHINE FOR CORRUGATING RADIATOR-PLATES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 12, 1921.

Application filed November 1, 1919.v Serial No. 335,070.

To all whom it may-concern Be it known that we, VITA HABIB and LEON BnNMAYoR, citizens of the United States of America, and residents of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Corru ating Radiator-Plates, of which the following is as ecification.

adiator plates vary in width from two inches to six inches or more. The difference in width between adjacent sizes is from one quarter of an inch to one half inch. It has been customary to have separate rolls for corrugating each width of plate. This necessitated not only that a manufacturer should have a stock of all sizes of rolls but that the roll should be completely removed and another one be substituted for every change in width of radiators to be made.

It is the object of our inventlon to provide means for reducing the stock of rolls and the labor in changing from the making of one size to another size of radiator plates.

This and other objects are attained by the means described in the specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1, is a partial plan view of a machine embodying our invention.

Fig. 2, is a side elevation thereof.

Fig. 3, is a sectional view upon an enlarged scale taken upon line 33 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4, is a sectional View taken upon line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5, is a detail View of one of the upper disks of the roll.

Fig. 6, is a detail side elevation of one of the guide plates for guiding the metal to the corrugating rolls.

Fig. 7, is a detail end View of the guide mechanism.

The machine embodying our invention comprises a holder A upon which is mounted a rolled strip of brass B, a guiding mechanism C for guiding the strip of metal, a corrugating mechanism D, a spool E upon which the corrugated metal is wound and mechanism for actuating the corrugati'ng mechanism and the winding mechanism.

The holder comprises a standard a, a spindle a journaled in bearing a in the standard a and a plate a for holding the roll B upon the spindle.

The guide comprises a standard 0, a guide plate 0 which is secured to the standard by means of arms 0 and a movable guide plate 0 which 18 secured to rods 0*, 0 which are adapted to move through apertures in the fixed guide plate 0 and the standard 0, which is provided with a set screw 0 by means of which the plate 0 may be fixed after it has been adjusted to the proper distance from the fixed plate 0. Plates 0', 0 have a front projection upon the end of which are mounted guide fingers c", between which the metal strip is guided between the corrugating rolls.

The corrugating mechanism comprises a standardd which has an elongated opening ti in which is mounted a journal block d", in whlch is journaled a shaft (i Journal block (Z may be adjusted to different posi tions in the opening cl by means of adjustmg bolts (Z In the standard d is journaleda shaft d upon which the other corrugating roll is mounted. Each corrugating roll comprises inner and outer disks (Z 03*, and a series ofinner building disks d. The building disks are made of a thickness equal to the difference in width of the adjacent sizes of radiator plates. Upon each shaft is secured a circular plate d in which are set screws (i by means of which the inner disk d is secured in place. The other disks of the roll are clamped between the plate (Z 4 and sleeves 03 which are mounted upon the shaft and are pressed against the outer ends of the disks by a nut (Z which engages screw threads upon the ends of the shafts d 03 respectively. The periphery of all the disks of the rolls are corrugated. Upon shafts d d, are secured intermeshing wheels d, 01

The spool comprises a spindle e, a plate 6' and a reduced end 6 about which the strip 5 is wound. Spindle e is connected by a belt a passing over rolls e 6 with a pulley e which is secured upon a shaft E which is connected by a drive belt 6 with the shaft (P, which may be driven by any suitable mechanism.

In use the roll B is mounted upon the spindle a and the strip is rolled forward between the fingers c, and guide plates 0' 0 which are adjusted a distance apart equal to the width of the plate, by loosening the set screw 0 The prooer number of building disks are placed between the inner and outer disks d and d respectively, to make the width of the rolls correspond to the Width ofthe strip.

Having thus described 01in inventiomwhat we claim 1s o 1. A machine for corrugating automobile radiator lates comprising a guide mechanism an i a corrugating mechanism, the guide mechanism consisting of adjustable plates having guide fingers forming parallel ways on-the adjustable plates, and means of adjusting and securing them at a distance apart e ual to the Width of the radiator plate an the corrugating mechanism the re-* comprising corrugating rolls built. up of a."

series of corrugating disks and means for mounting them rotatably adjacent to the guide mechanism.

2. A. machine for corrugating automobile and the guide mechanism consisting of parallel plates adapted to support a width of radiator plate material between them, and means for adjusting the plates.

In testimony whereofwe have subscribed our names this 15th day of October, 1919.
